K'NEX Intro to Simple Machines: Gears

• Explore gearing functions with models like fans and discover their applications in everyday objects. • Accommodates collaborative learning for two to three children, ideal for Key Stage 2 educational environments. • Explore the intricacies of gear configurations through hands-on experimentation. This set encourages children to identify and test three different gear types, enhancing their understanding of mechanical principles. • The exploration continues as students delve into the concept of gear ratios, calculating the effectiveness and efficiency of different gear types. This hands-on approach solidifies their grasp of physics and engineering concepts. The set is perfect for fostering a deep understanding of how everyday machines work, from bicycles to blenders, by enabling practical engagement with gears. It supports curriculum requirements for Key Stage 2, making it a valuable tool for classroom discussion on forces and mechanics. • This set builds 7 models all together; egg beater, blender, chainsaw, record player, crank fan, car window and exercise bike • The models demonstrates spur gear, crown gear and sprocket gear examples • 198 pieces are included in this kit and comes supplied with a strong plastic storage case with dividers and lid.
